The Director of Product Management will lead the strategy, development, and lifecycle of large-scale connectivity and interconnect products, enabling hyperscaler, enterprise, and carrier-grade network solutions. This role is responsible for driving the evolution of the company’s global connectivity fabric spanning data center interconnect (DCI), IP/MPLS, DWDM, broadband, private connectivity, and dark fibre infrastructure.

This position demands a highly technical product leader with deep understanding of carrier networks, global WAN architecture, and hyperscaler interconnection models. The Director will work cross-functionally with Engineering, Network Operations, and Architecture teams to translate capacity, latency, and routing strategies into commercially viable products and scalable network solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Product Leadership

• Define and own the product roadmap for DCI, IP/MPLS, DWDM, and global interconnect services.

• Translate complex network capabilities—capacity planning, latency optimization, route diversity, and peering—into scalable commercial offerings.

• Ensure technical feasibility, operational readiness, and integration with core infrastructure and global network assets.

• Partner with Engineering and Architecture teams to align roadmap execution with infrastructure builds and technology evolution.

Network & Infrastructure Strategy

• Drive product strategy for hyperscaler and enterprise connectivity across domestic and international routes.

• Lead capacity and topology planning initiatives to support multi-terabit scale growth over the next 1–2 years.

• Maintain deep insight into the physical and logical network layers DCI topology, fiber routes, transport resilience, and traffic engineering.

Commercial Enablement & Productization

• Define technical product requirements and translate them into commercial-ready solutions, pricing models, and go-to-market collateral.

• Lead end-to-end lifecycle management including product design, launch, scaling, and decommissioning.

• Align product portfolio with strategic partnerships, carrier agreements, and data center interconnect expansions.

Key Requirements

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Telecommunications, or related field (Master’s preferred).

• 10+ years in technical product management or network product leadership within hyperscaler, telecom, or data center environments.

• Proven experience launching and managing large-scale network infrastructure products across global markets.

Technical Expertise

• Deep understanding of:

  • Optical and IP transport technologies: DWDM, DCI, IP/MPLS, Ethernet, BGP, OTN

  • Network capacity and performance management (multi-terabit scale)

  • Hyperscaler and enterprise interconnect architectures

  • Dark fibre, peering, broadband, and private connectivity models

• Strong experience collaborating with vendors and partners
